S o i l
The soil of Grés de Montpellier, stretches from the outskirts of Pézenas to Lunel, situated near the Mediterranean Sea and consists mainly of round pebbles from the former riverbed of the Rhône. It is an area which is protected from the north by the Montagne Noire and by the Cévennes.
The Pic Saint Loup is the most northernly soil of the « Coteaux du Languedoc » appellation, with a palet of a wide mixture of limestone: hard, soft, scree or dolomites.

Château d’Assas an 18th century folie montpellierraine, designed by the architect Jean-Antoine Giral(1700–1787), was built in 1759/1760 on the ruins of a feudal castle. It is a private residence, but can be toured either by appointment or on national holidays. A historic 18th century harpsichord is preserved in the Château, a favoured instrument of harpsichordist Scott Ross (1951–1989), who died in Assas.
The château was used as a set in the filming of La Belle Noiseuse, a film by Jacques Rivette (1991).
